10AM Sunday morning is the most segregated time in America. I think MLK said that.
There is no conspiracies, no "government plan", no one to blame but ourselves. Who do you Choose and who are you Comfortable to be with...? As Annie wrote "East Phillips (where at least 70 nations are all mixed and matched together on every single block in our small section of the world)." It aint 1955 anymore! So why a segregated time at the park, other than people's personal Choice? Why would the Strib print a story about a black neighbourhood loosing it's blackness a few days ago? Because people on both sides of the fence are afraid of each other. It's no conspiracy. They already live next to each other, but many are still trying to figure out how to play with each other at the local park. Instead of looking in the mirror, it's far easier to blame the city...because that way one can denounce the behavior, but still manage to avoid dealing with any of it. It's all the city's fault. Yeah, right....
